They say curiosity kills the cat but curiously often lands dogs into trouble too. A curious dog, chasing after ducks, had to be rescued by firefighters after it swam a kilometre in pursuit of the birds, apparently, with no signs of stopping.?
A crew from Victorian Fire and Rescue in Australia were taking part in a routine exercise on the Maribyrnong River when they were approached and asked to help out with a real-life situation by a dog owner.?
The distressed owner told the firefighters that her dog who had been chasing ducks, jumped into the river and swam away after them.?
The black labrador, named Indy, reportedly swam out of sight pretty quickly, leaving her owner in panic.?
The crew was already in boats so they set off along the river to search for Indy. They had help from a passer-by who directed them to a lake almost one kilometre away where he had spotted her, reports News.com.au.?
They found Indy in that direction and he apparently did not seem tired and was still chasing ducks.?
Reportedly, the dog was not in a hurry to be rescued, but the firefighters used their boats to corner her and lifted her on board.?
Indy was safely returned to her owner, may be that¡¯s good news for the ducks.?
While this incident highlights the curious nature of the dogs, another one that went viral recently brings forth their kind and compassionate side.?
A video of a pet dog reportedly from China went viral recently and touched the hearts of many people. The viral video shows the adorable dog named Pudding taking a pork bun to a small stray cat, apparently to feed the starving feline.?

In the short video, the dog waits around for the cat who seems aloof at first. Eventually the cat gives in, picks up the treat and scurries away with it in its mouth.?
The video has led many to call Pudding a ¡®kind soul¡¯ and ¡®little angel.¡¯ It was made by the dog owner, known by her surname Fu, at a garden outside her home in Weifang of eastern Chinese province Shandong.?
One person commented, ¡®This has brought me to tears. Animals have such kind souls while some humans can¡¯t amount to anything even close to this!¡¯ while another wrote, ¡®Omg this is adorable! Pudding is such a little angel. Dogs are the best!¡¯
No one can refute that dogs ARE the best.?
